When finding out how much has been changed in English of the book she loves, instead of sitting in anger, she sought to understand why. She uncovered truths about those who took up translating, and even found she resonated with them at times. The way that she was able to illustrate the law made me a little awestruck. The Ten Commandments are not the ten commandments, they are the ten statements.
